Remember ACORN? Voter fraud, multiple felony, radical leftest, ACORN? The Obama Administration is planning to task ACORN with conducting the 2010 census: http://www.thehopeforamerica.com/play.php?id=590 I can't even tell you how potentially destructive this is. Originally, Judd Gregg was being tapped to be the Commerce Secretary. He bowed out after he discovered that Obama was simply seeking a Republican cover for the removal of responsibility for taking the 2010 census out of the hands of the Commerce Department and moved to the White House. Rahm Emanuel was supposed to head up the census using computer models rather than an actual population count. Forgive me if I don't believe the models to be accurate. Obama then stated that an actual count would be conducted utilizing the Commerce Department. Now Obama plans to use ACORN to conduct the census as "private contractors". Forgive me if I don't feel as thought the count will be accurate. Remember this: “Nevada 2008 On October 6, a criminal investigator with the Nevada Secretary of State filed a search-warrant affidavit stating that ACORN workers used “fictitious and false information” on voter registration applications. Among the allegations: –ACORN hired 59 state prison inmates to collect voter-registration forms. One was Jason Anderson, who currently is imprisoned for burglary and firearms violations at the state’s Casa Grande halfway house in Las Vegas, court records show. Anderson, who became a supervisory “team leader” for ACORN, told state investigators that some of his co-workers “hired by ACORN were ‘lazy crack-heads’ who were not interested in working and just wanted the money.” Anderson is the whistleblower who told state investigators that his inmate colleagues had registered the Dallas Cowboys to vote in Nevada, along with “large numbers” of other fictitious applications. –Another ACORN worker, Darmela Jones, said “she submitted approximately 40 Voter Registration Applications while employed at ACORN and only 10 were real applications.” Her excuse? Jones said “it was very hot outside while she was getting people to complete a form.” –Yet another ACORN canvasser “was caught completing forms using names and addresses copied from the telephone book.” – Investigators also identified a Nevada woman, Roberta Casteel, who had not registered to vote but whose voter-registration application was submitted to the state by ACORN. How, then, did the ACORN workers find her name, driver’s license number and Social Security number? Here’s one clue: Casteel’s purse was stolen last year, she said. Now how would state inmates living in a halfway house know about that? Ohio 2008 Election officials in Ohio’s most populous county asked a prosecutor Monday to investigate alleged voter-registration fraud. One local man, Freddie Johnson of Cleveland, testified before the bipartisan Cuyahoga County Board of Elections that ACORN workers encouraged him to sign 73 voter registration forms—all in his own name. “They get paid off a signature,” he said. “So they just needed a signature and told me I wasn’t going to get into trouble.” In an interview with the Cleveland NBC station, WKYC, after the hearing, Johnson said the ACORN workers paid him a few bucks and gave him a few cigarettes in exchange for the multiple signatures. ACORN said the workers in question were fired. Washington State 2007 The King County Prosecutor’s Office filed criminal charges last year against seven ACORN workers accused of submitting 1,762 fraudulent voter registrations to the state in 2006. The workers–many of whom had prior convictions– went to the Seattle Public Library and filled out forms “based on names, addresses and telephone numbers taken from the telephone books,” state prosecutor Daniel Satterberg said. In addition, one of the canvassers paid $8 an hour by ACORN “said it was hard work making up all those cards,” according to a probable-cause statement by a King County Sheriff’s detective. Another ACORN worker boasted “he would often sit at home, smoke marijuana and fill out cards,” the statement said. Several of the Seattle-based ACORN workers had criminal histories prior to their employment. One had pleaded guilty to second-degree child molestation, and another had pleaded guilty to harassment for writing a bomb-threat note. Yet another had a crack-cocaine problem. “We believe that ACORN’s internal quality control procedures were not just deficient but entirely non-existent,” Satterberg said. “This was an act of vandalism against our voter rolls.” I guess one way or another, Obama plans to stack the census deck in the favor of Liberals. | ||

Again, it took about a minute of research to find plenty of sources that tell you this story is just plain not true. Feel free to do your own research though. Bill | ||
| Ft_bstrd |
Please cite your source refuting this report. I would like to see it. I hope it isn't true, but the trend for common sense hasn't been present as of late. | ||

It's not true that ACORN is being solicited to help with the 2010 census? Really? Guess I don't need to read this then. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/03/17/lawmake rs-concerned-role-acorn-census/ The Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now signed on as a national partner with the U.S. Census Bureau in February 2009 to assist with the recruitment of the 1.4 million temporary workers needed to go door-to-door to count every person in the United States -- currently believed to be more than 306 million people. | ||

It's from Fox News, P. The source is specious. If CNN or MSNBC doesn't report it, it didn't happen. I would like to see an official refutation of ACORN's involvement as fact. | ||
| P_squared |
Silly me. I forgot that only CNN or MSNBC count for 'real' news, and that Fox is just a rightwing propaganda machine. So if I don't see AP, CNN or MSNBC reporting it, then it didn't/hasn't happened. Got it.  | ||

So if I don't see AP, CNN or MSNBC reporting it, then it didn't/hasn't happened. Got it. I learn something on BadWeb every day. Awesome!  I guess I need to change my news channel.  | ||

I'd like to see it too. If, in fact, it exists. . . .then it must support the fact that Dodd has lied yet again. | ||
| Ducxl |
the fact that Dodd has lied yet again. OMG   I can't believe they have him on video two days ago flat out stating it wasn't there! A day later he admitted the addition and said they didn't think it'd be raised to these levels of outrage? Maybe they didn't think it(bonus protections)rose to the levels of outrage? | ||

The Obama administration (Rahm Emanuel) polluted the water early on, by trying to move the ownership of the process from an "neutral accounting" section of the government to a political branch. There was no reason to do this other then trying to gain a political advantage over either the process or the outcome. As a result, it's fair that everything they do in that space should be suspect now. They obviously have an agenda. | ||
| Raceautobody |
All these political threads lately are getting old. I thought this was a motorcycle centered site. Threads like this are started just to cause confrontation. BadWeb is being diluted lately Al | ||
| Mortarmanmike120 |
There are plenty of motorcycle centered threads on this board. I thought the title to this one was pretty clear. | ||

If the outside of the bag is labeled "Bag of Shit", do you really have to stick your face inside to know that you don't want a whiff? If you don't like political threads, don't open political threads. | ||

Hmm... Bill, where is that citation? Must not exist. Don't be surprised to see Pelosi, Reed, and Obama decide that illegals should be counted as citizens next. They are going to try to do everything they can in these first two years to make sure that conservatives become unelectable. | ||
| Ft_bstrd |
I would REALLY like to see it as well, Bill. Please. | ||

If the outside of the bag is labeled "Bag of Shit", do you really have to stick your face inside to know that you don't want a whiff? Apparently, you have never got chinese take out in Jersey.  | ||

You should have just cut out the middle man and dumped it directly in the toilet. It's got about a 18.2 minute shelf life in your colon. | ||

The Mexican food that Liberty served during their Open House a couple of years ago was excellent. I bet if they served Chinese, it would be excellent, also. They're one dealership that "Gets it", and does it up right. | ||
